Draft/List Description Autofills with title + shipping defaults, over-writes previously saved edits

As title says, when making a new listing, saving the draft with a handwritten description, then going back to a phone to do something, maybe taking pictures or adding information elsewhere, the description will reset to the title of the listing, condition is _whatever_, shipped by _whatever is at the top of the shipping list. 

 

I just want an option to turn this *feature* off for good! It has never helped and makes at least 4x as much work than necessary drafting a listing from the app. Not only that, if it reverts to this annoying default, I change the shipping method and list a draft, a buyer can purchase an item under the impression that I will use a certain shipping service, when in fact, it was changed. Please understand how extremely problematic this function is (at least for some people).

Thank you.

I would have another 60 listings up within the last two weeks if it weren't for this function over-writing my drafts. The sooner it is corrected, the sooner everyone is happy.

 

Also, if it's no trouble, can someone update us when it is fixed those of us who do manual updates can go apply the fix.

I only had time to list a handful of items. So far so good! 🙂 Thank you. 

 

The only odd part/problem that is semi-related, is that I have one shipping policy default that does not include Priority Mail as the default, and listings still auto-fill as making a statement claiming the item *will* be shipped with Priority Mail, which is just an unnecessary step and opens too much room for an additional error somewhere.
